Peculiarities of the initial psychopathological manifestations after the transferred coronavirus disease COVID-19

Introduction The pathogenesis of mental disorders occurring during the coronavirus pandemic 2 (SARS-COV-2) includes biological and psychosocial factors. Psychopathological consequences associated with the coronavirus disease COVID-19 may occur in different groups of individuals, including patients with a history of COVID-19 and patients with psychiatric disorders preceding COVID-19. Objectives To investigate the peculiarities of the initial psychopathological manifestations in patients with newly diagnosed mental disorders who suffered from COVID-19 and were exposed to the stressors of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Methods The study involved 97 patients with newly diagnosed mental disorders who suffered from COVID-19 and were exposed to the stressors of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic (F 32.0-32.2 – 34 patients, F 40-45 – 32 patients, F 06.3-06.6 – 31 patient). The average age of the examined group was 44.82 ± 5.64 years. Clinico-psychopathological, psychodiagnostic, statistical methods were used. Results In the structure of initial psychopathological manifestations detected in patients, the following prevailed: with depressive episodes - weakness and fatigue / asthenia ((87.50 ± 5.94) %), low mood / depression ((71.88 ± 8.07) %) and sleep disturbances ((65.63 ± 8.53) %); with neurotic, stress-related and somatoform disorders – weakness and fatigue / asthenia ((72.73 ± 7.87) %), decreased concentration of attention, memory / cognitive disorders ((66.67 ± 8.33 ) %) and feeling of inner tension ((60.61 ± 8.64) %); with mental disorders of organic genesis – a feeling of internal tension ((75.00 ± 7.78) %), anxiety ((62.50 ± 8.70) %) and weakness and fatigue / asthenia ((59.38 ± 8 .82) %). In patients with depressive episodes, initial psychopathological manifestations in the form of asthenia, low mood, cognitive disorders, and sleep disorders were detected in a significantly greater number of cases compared to patients with mental disorders of organic genesis (р < 0,05). In the examined subjects of this subgroup, initial psychopathological manifestations in the form of a decrease in mood were recorded in a significantly greater number of cases compared to patients with neurotic, stress-related and somatoform disorders (р < 0,05). In patients with neurotic, stress-related and somatoform disorders, initial psychopathological manifestations in the form of anxiety, fears and obsessions were noted in a significantly smaller number of cases compared to those examined with mental disorders of organic genesis (р < 0,05). Conclusions The obtained data will make it possible to improve the effectiveness of diagnosis and therapy of mental disorders, the formation, course and clinical picture of which were affected by the coronavirus disease COVID-19.

Introduction:
The COVID-19 pandemic has set unprecedented demand on the medical system globally.Palestine was one of the Arab countries affected Objectives: The present study aims to identify the relationship between patience and Stress Tolerance in the medical system in Bethlehem Governorate during the Corona pandemic, as well as to identify the impact of several demographic variables on it.Methods: Descriptive method were used.Appropriate statistical analyses were conducted using (SPSS).A random sample of 160 workers of the medical staff completed the Patience Scale and Coping Processes Scale questionnaire.Results: : showed there is a significant positive effect for patience on stress tolerance and there were statistically significant differences in the level of patience in favor of males and single workers.It was also found that there is no difference in the specific duties of a health care worker and no variance of statistical evidence was found in the level of patience due to work with Covid patients but there were differences in stress tolerance in favor of those who do not work with Covid patients.There is a significance in the level of stress tolerance in favor of the National Center in regard to bearing pressure.There was a negative correlation with statistical significance between stress tolerance and age.The nature of stress changes with age, from episodic to chronic, which in turn affects appraisal and Introduction: The pathogenesis of mental disorders occurring during the coronavirus pandemic 2 (SARS-COV-2) includes biological and psychosocial factors.Psychopathological consequences associated with the coronavirus disease COVID-19 may occur in different groups of individuals, including patients with a history of COVID-19 and patients with psychiatric disorders preceding COVID-19.Objectives: To investigate the peculiarities of the initial psychopathological manifestations in patients with newly diagnosed mental disorders who suffered from COVID-19 and were exposed to the stressors of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.Methods: The study involved 97 patients with newly diagnosed mental disorders who suffered from COVID-19 and were exposed to the stressors of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic (F 32.0-32.2 -34 patients, F 40-45 -32 patients, F 06.3-06.6 -31 patient).The average age of the examined group was 44.82 AE 5.64 years.Clinicopsychopathological, psychodiagnostic, statistical methods were used.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Mental Health-Related Online Searches in Greece
Introduction: In recent years, there has been a well-documented increase in public perception of mental health (MH) matters, and in the related search for support by MH professionals.The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 has been a notable aggravating factor for MH around the globe, as well as in Greece.Objectives: Therefore, the goal of this study is to determine whether a significant change can be seen in the Google Search trends in Greece of specific terms related to MH after the start of the pandemic.Methods: Our data source was the Google Trends platform, which shows the relative volumes of Google Searches (relative search volumes, RSVs) happening in an area for the requested period of time, which in our case was January 2016-September 2022.Through a preliminary filtering of various search terms for data quality, we identified 6 for which the data were then statistically analysed as interrupted time series, to determine the significance of time and COVID-19 for the RSVs.
Results: The terms analysed were "ψυχίατρος" ("psychiatrist") (T1), "ψυχολόγος" ("psychologist") (T2), "ψυχική υγεία" ("mental health") (T3), "mental health" (T4), "κατάθλιψη" ("depression") (T5) and "άγχος" ("anxiety") (T6).Autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) modelling and forecasting was used to account for the impact of previous months' trends on each following month.The analysis showed a statistically significant relationship between the RSVs and time for all terms except T3 (p=.12).However, only T5 and T6 showed a significant change in the trend after March 2020 (p<.05); interestingly, they exhibited a downwards trend compared to their pre-COVID-19 volumes, after a peak in Spring 2020, which was not shared by the rest.T4, T5 and T6 RSVs were also correlated to the number of months since March 2020 (p<.05 for all).Conclusions: In conclusion, the impact of the pandemic on online search trends related to MH is limited for the majority of cases, and appears to have been time-bound to periods with intense extrinsic pressures (i.e. the emergence of an unknown disease and subsequent measures).More research is warranted to judge public sentiment towards and interest in the importance of MH and the true effects of COVID-19 on those; however, the constant rise of the search volumes is a positive sign for the recognition of the burden of MH issues.

Introduction: COVID-19 has had a significant impact on our daily lives in a variety of ways.In hospital settings, patients who are admitted on COVID-19 wards are usually isolated from their family and friends.This, in turn, can lead to patients feeling lonely and having increased level of anxiety.Objectives: To assess the level of anxiety and feeling of loneliness amongst the patients during their in-patient stay in a COVID-
